Painting in Focus – Summer 2025 @SaatchiArt – Seasonally Off, Emotionally On
…much of this whole write-up about Summer 2025, I discovered while writing this very post – a very similar creative path I experience painting. That’s part of what the creative effort does for me – helps me make sense of things I feel but can’t yet explain.

November 12, 2021 – New #Acrylic #Watercolor Upload @FineArtAmerica – Walking in Light
Back near mid-October I posted about beginning a couple of new projects and featured my initial layin image below-left. The simple shift to the final image is a bit deceiving, as both the foreground and background had more of the intense coloring, some of which came off when I removed the masking fluid I’d applied.…

October 23, 2021 – New #Acrylic Upload @FineArtAmerica – Mother and Child
It’s been quite a development for this painting, growing from an idea of a previous work with a less defined at the time unrealized depiction of a younger and older person. Probably the most important development is my own realization of that development, lol! Frankly, though I often saw a realization-glimpse of that sort even…

My small 5×7 impressionist copy, “ala Anders Zorn, Woman Dressing” captured the highest number of views for the week for a 2nd week! And with a relatively hefty leader over those ranking right below it (vs my own images). [note: this post also includes a discussion about Contemporary Impressionism]

August 27, 2021 – Another New Most Viewed Image For the Week @FineArtAmerica, “ala Anders Zorn, Woman Dressing” : (again) a #Watercolor on Absorbent Ground on Canvas Panel #ContemporaryImpressionism
Despite only having been uploaded to my Fine Art America site for one day, my small 5×7 impressionist copy, “ala Anders Zorn, Woman Dressing” captured the highest number of views for the week!

August 13, 2021 – A New Most Viewed Image For the Week @FineArtAmerica, “A Walk Among the Wildflowers” : #Watercolor on Absorbent Ground on Canvas #ContemporaryImpressionism
After five record weeks of most viewed of my images on Fine Art America, Summer is a Lady paused and rested at 2nd most viewed – allowing another watercolor mine, from slightly over a year ago, to resurface with interest!
-
August 10, 2021 – My Newest Art Upload @FineArtAmerica – Testing the Water (Acrylic on Canvas)
Several things went into making this one of my favored positive-surprise results: 1. Golden’s Light Molding Paste, which itself allowed several things a. creation of a descriptive molding directing movement and form b. an absorption surface that allowed my use of watered down acrylics which gave me my currently-favored look – watercolors c. and least…

August 06, 2021 – 5 Weeks Running! My Most Viewed Image For the Week @FineArtAmerica, Summer is a Lady : #Watercolor on Paper #ContemporaryImpressionism

July 28, 2021 – New 25×40 #Acrylic on Canvas In-Progress : Barton Springs Greenbelt Indian Summer
A chore heat filled day where my keyboard evidently is deciding it’s had it, lol!

July 27, 2021 – 4 Weeks Running! My Most Viewed Image For the Week @FineArtAmerica, Summer is a Lady : #Watercolor on Paper #ContemporaryImpressionism
I’m sure I’ve had images repeat as most viewed 4 times in a row, but I wasn’t paying as much attention to that as I try to nowadays 😊 Summer is a Lady continues to simmer atop my selection of photos and artwork and illustrated poetry ♥️
